Extraordinary Attorney Woo tops Netflix’s non-English series

Extraordinary Attorney Woo, starring Park Eun-bin, has become Netflix's most-watched non-English TV show in the world. The series revolves around the titular character, a top-tier lawyer. It offers a unique perspective on how an autistic person achieves a high rank and passes the bar to become an outstanding lawyer.

According to the streaming giant, Extraordinary Attorney Woo marked 67.01 million hours of viewing for the week of August 1-7, ranking No.1 on the non-English TV show chart. This is the fourth time that the K-Drama topped the chart.

Released on June 29, it did not enter the top 10 in the first week but topped the chart for 2 weeks from the second week of July (4-10) to the third week (11-17).

According to Netflix, in the fourth week of July (18-24), it fell one notch to the second behind the Spanish TV series Alba but regained the top position again in the fifth week (25-31).

The viewing hours of Extraordinary Attorney Woo continue to increase every week. It recorded 23.95 million hours in the second week of July, but increased to 45.58 million hours in the third week, 55.07 million hours in the fourth week, 65.63 million hours in the fifth week, and 67.01 million hours in the first week of August.

In addition, Alchemy of Souls (4th, 21.1 million hours) and Netflix's original series Remarriage & Desires (10th, 7.54 million hours) have also ranked in the top 10 on the non-English TV series chart.

K-Dramas have had strong female friendship arcs, and whether it's Attorney Choi or Dong Geu-Rami, there's a lot of love, support, and warmth to be found. Each episode is about a case that Young-team Woo's at Hanbada takes on, and through her eyes, the narrative goes beyond being a staid procedural drama. With each case, we follow her as she learns something new about people, ethics, and the world around her.
